subsequent to hypothyroidism: A 60-year-old man was treated with pembrolizumab for recurrence of lung metastasis after surgery for hy-popharyngeal carcinoma. Three months after the first dose, severe hypothyroidism was observed. This was thought to be an immune-related adverse event (irAE) and treatment was temporarily discontinued. Levothy-roxine was started, thyroid function recovered, and pembrolizumab was restarted. Seven months after the first dose, general malaise and anorexia were observed. On the basis of the decrease in serum ACTH and cortisol levels, we diagnosed hypopituitarism as an irAE. Hydrocortisone was administered and the general condition promptly improved. Hypothyroidism induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors is a frequently observed irAE and may be secondary to hypopituitarism, as in this case.

Although multidisciplinary treatment, including resective and reconstructive surgery, should be considered for the management of advanced oropharyngeal cancer, severe postoperative dysphagia may occur, and laryngeal preservation may be difficult. Oropharyngeal carcinoma of the posterior wall is rare and has a poorer postoperative swallowing function and prognosis than that of other subsites, but detailed reports on swallowing dynamics are limited. Here, we report the case of a 76-year-old man. He underwent resection of the oropharynx, neck dissection, cricopharyngeal myotomy for oropharyngeal posterior wall carcinoma, and reconstruction with an anterolateral thigh flap. After surgery, the patient presented severe dysphagia but recovered the ability to swallow food that required mastication in approximately 2 months, and was discharged home. After approximately 4.5 years post-surgery, he remains able to consume regular food without showing any recurrence. We believe that preservation of most of the suprahyoid muscle group and cricopharyngeal myotomy were factors for maintaining swallowing function. In addition, by focusing on functional compensation, including postoperative rehabilitation, laryngeal preservation is suggested to help patients with oropharyngeal posterior wall cancer.

Examination of late stage elderly patients with oral cancer who were classified as prefrail (vulnerable): We examined 23 prefrail (vulnerable) patients among patients with late-stage elderly oral cancer treated in our department. The 5-year overall survival rate was 41.9%, and when classified according to treatment approach, the survival rate was higher in the group that received absolute curative treatment (standard treatment). Uni-variate analysis of each factor affecting prognosis showed significant differences in G8 score (p=0.047) and stage (p=0.022), and treatment approach (p=0.052) also tended to affect prognosis. In the results of multivariate analysis, only therapeutic approach was extracted as a factor that significantly affected prognosis (p=0.034). In addition, decision tree analysis showed that the G8 score was divided into 14 points or more and less than 14 points, suggesting that it may be a predictor of prognosis. Prefrail (vulnerable) is a conceptual category in which it is difficult to apply standard treatment, but it is thought that aiming for standard treatment without easily reducing the treatment intensity will lead to improvement in prognosis. In addition, it is considered useful to use the G8 screening tool as a patient evaluation method.
